The whole reason they are claiming these ridiculously low construction times is by using pre-fabricated components, but then not including the time it takes to construct the components. Sorry guys, but construction time spent building your modules is still construction time, you don't just get to claim your assembly time.

trucks or trains running day and night for 90 days couldn't even possibly get all the materials there needed to to build it. i'm calling B.S. This would be an engineering marvel just to complete, period, so even if they get it up in 90 days, good luck renting out that space. You'd need to be an idiot to step foot in it.

SacriliciousBeerSwiller:that1guy77: Stile4aly: The architect is either an authentic whacko or a certified genius. The whole building is like a huge antenna for pulling in concentrated psychokinetic energy!

I don't know why, but what you said reminds me of that excited-panicky scientist from Back to the Future.

You mean Gandalf?

Exactly. I slipped into a food coma and was even too lazy to use Google.

The ninety day claim seems disingenuous at the best. The entire shell of the building might be done in ninety days. But does that include site and foundation work? Does it include core mechanical, electrical, and plumbing? Does it include interior fit out? Even if they get the shell up in ninety days I would assume at least 6 months of time after that before anyone is moving in.

Nevermind the time to pre-fabricate the pieces which are the very basis for the quick build time. Construction performed off-site is still construction.

I don't know if that's fair. We don't normally consider the time it takes to forge the steel or other prep-work in construction, do we? I would think that 90 days would represent the time on site.

I draw the line at the point that raw materials are actually being used to construct parts of the architectural plans. Otherwise, it would be sort of like house-movers moving a house from point A to point B, then saying "we built it in ONE DAY!!!".
